Post the last debug.txt entry here.

04.26.09 17:30:14 you need to set your working directory.
04.26.09 17:30:18 you need to set your working directory.

That is only guerilla. Hmm. How many processors do you have in your computer? Do you have windows Vista?

i have a duel core processer computer (2.4ghrz) with 3g of ram - not the best graphics card and yes i have vista (32bit) home premeum.

Okay here is how you fix sapien, First if you want to do less work each time opening up sapien go download kornman's version of the HEK. Then it should work,if it doesn't you might be missing tags from the scenario you are trying to open. Also if you don't already have a xfire account or xfire go download it. Then add me, my xfire is: xxpakarxx

Add me and I will help you on there okay?

ok - i just tried kornmans sapien, it didnt work it had the same glitch.

do you know if i can fix the problem?

You can I think. What scenario are you trying to open?

the name of the map is cd1 for beta purposes, it is in the confige stage of development which means i have yet to add the normal stuff like trees and weapons etc. so if should open yet it crashed every time.

Bad scorpian tags. I think either Kornman or someone else on Modacity gave fixed tags out to public.

can someone tell what the error is so i can fix it! i want to finish this map and make it awesome.

how could it be a codec error? i have had no errors before. Is there a requirement for sapien that you have to have a powerful sound card or something?
